Comedian Yang Sang-guk, despite being rated grade 6 by a matchmaking agency, said he seriously hopes to get married "within this year."
On TV CHOSUN's hyperrealistic documentary variety show The Lovers of Joseon, Yang Sang-guk, leader of the grade-6 men's marriage group 'Yuk Can Do It,' takes the lead with a bold self-introduction to capture the initiative in search of "grade-1 love."
In the preview video for The Lovers of Joseon, which will air on the 20th (Mon) at 10 p.m., led by Yang Sang-guk, the Yuk Can Do It members — comedian Hong Kyung-jun·actor Yoo Il-han·former professional baseball player turned broadcaster Shim Soo-chang·actor Shim Jae-won — have their first romance matching with four mysterious women.
Taking the first turn for self-introductions with confidence, Yang Sang-guk said, "My original profession is comedian, and I also compete as a car racer. I just took first place in a professional race the day before yesterday. I think words aren't really important to women. I'll show it through actions," and with a short but sincere introduction he won applause, targeting not only women's hearts but also the Yuk Can Do It members. One woman asked the most important question: "If you find someone you like today, when would you want to get married?"
Yang Sang-guk said seriously that "I would joke and say 'tomorrow' if it were a joke, but I truly want to get married within this year." When the woman who asked the question exclaimed, "Only half a year is left this year," Yang Sang-guk, now a 44-year-old unmarried man, revealed his sincere feelings about marriage, saying, "Because of my age, this is not a time to delay." He added confidently, "I think marriage preparations can be done in a short time as long as both understand each other." Attention is on whether 'Gimhae crown prince' Yang Sang-guk will find a match in Gyeongju.
Earlier, Yang Sang-guk visited a matchmaking agency for consultation and asked, "Do I also get a rating?" The matchmaking agency representative replied bluntly, "Don't take it personally; it's a lower grade. Grade 6, practically last place." The reason cited was academic background and the job security issue of being a freelancer, and the representative explained, "This is not dating but matchmaking. There aren't many people looking for these conditions."<
